The name “Ka-Anival!!” is a clever play on words, combining elements that represent the day, the genre, and the time. “Ka” stands for Tuesday, “Ani” for anime, and “val” (derived from “baru” in katakana) signifies a tavern-like gathering place. The double exclamation marks emphasize the 11:00 p.m. time slot, inviting viewers to join in the nightly anime festivities. The concept behind this block is to create a space where everyone can come together to enjoy high-quality anime that will resonate globally.
Future episodes in this block will feature a diverse array of anime, ensuring that there is something for every fan. The programming aims to be a hub for anime enthusiasts, offering a mix of genres and styles that will keep viewers engaged and excited.
